To remember the correct difference, the apostrophe represents a missing letter (as in the "
G" from "Cookin'" and "Goin'") in the
case of "You're" it's the missing "A."
As for "Your" it means it belongs to someone or something. (Genetive form. In some ways, the possessive form.)
After committing these to
memory, it gets extremely easy to remember without looking it up. Helpful examples:-
"You're" (You are.)
"You're
next."
"That place is heavily guarded, you're not going in there, are you?"
"You're dead, wait 'till I get my hands on you."
"When you're there, turn
left."
"Your."
"This is your car."
"Your Majesty."
"Let's go to your place."
"Is this your's?"
Both definitions.
"You're going to your
wedding and that's that!"
"You're responsible for your mistakes."
"That's your
pet and you're going to take care of it, not me!"
